Aside that, it's like I had three cars in high school, an apartment, a credit card, and another apartment in another country, a 4k computer in the early 2000s. Maybe I want a place to vent. Is that so wrong? You aggress me just because "firearms" and ignore that I've helped many people throughout my life. What will probably piss you off is that I have 7 firearms on my bed right now, they need to be maintained and I'm lazy so I just sleep in another room. As a counter argument, are you looking to vent your frustrations on someone else? When's the last time you asked your friends how they're doing, or what's bothering them? One day it will be too late.

But I've learned how to overcome. I still did what I wanted anyway. I asked for a $600 beater so I could learn how to fix cars. I got a Mercedes instead. The first car I bought was a $600 non working jeep with 300k miles. It's probably why I had so many people come to me for help--I think I have a few screws loose; where I came from the kids had knives on the playground. I have two cuts on my face. It was a strange thing to have people in their 50's come out, being gay, to me; I don't have a problem with that. Or even tell me about what atrocities they experienced in their childhood. It's the only thing I can brag about, that people, even to this day, tell me their darkest secrets that they've held on to throughout their lives. permalink fedilink source parent [–] timochka@lemmy.zip 0 points 3 days ago (1 child) Sincerely - get help. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] myyass@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago Meowka, thanks for the concern. permalink fedilink source parent [–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 days ago (2 children) Bad parenting is teaching your kids abstinence-only gun education.
